How can Prague genuinely improve housing affordability? Should the city itself build new housing, or should it primarily create conditions for cooperation with private developers? And what role should the Prague Development Company play in this?
In the political panel of the Prague Agenda public debate, representatives of Prague’s political parties discussed concrete ways to address the housing crisis, municipal housing construction, the functioning of the Prague Development Company, and the importance of the newly approved Metropolitan Plan.
Panelists:
- Jan Hušbauer – ANO
- Tereza Nislerová – Pirates
- Hana Novotná – STAN
- Tomáš Pek – SPOLU
- Adam Scheinherr – Praha sobě
- Milan Urban – SPD
Moderator: Veselin Vačkov, Director of the Strategeo Institute
The discussion also included the results of an exclusive STEM/MARK survey for the Prague Agenda, according to which 79% of Prague residents rate housing affordability in the capital as poor.
